@distel ooh, thank you for the link. Actually after reading this article, i don't find aerosols that worrying anymore. It basically says "they're a thing and the usual measures are enough to reduce the risk", yeah somehow ventilation was always a key factor in the recommendations that i read despite them not properly acknowledging aerosols. Cool :) i got bored of updating my knowledge, but doing so and finding out that not much changed is super calming.

@maunzi I think the WHO is lagging a little behind. they have been lagging behind when it comes to masks, too.

but for me, when I heard aerosols were bigger than everyone had thought, (back in may) I felt like I wanted to avoid everyone, too. and still feel like that sometimes.

I wonder if a lot of people have just stopped actively reading new information about covid..

@maunzi for me, it's not new because I'm a drosten fanby, and he's been preaching aerosols as playing an important role for months and months. the americans are just now beginning to realize this, at least the virologists of "this week in virology" podcast.

but still, most people don't even transmit it at all - it has a low k-factor, which is the dispersion rate, and maybe that's a little relief for you..

@maunzi in case you haven't seen it, here's a great article about 'hygiene theatre' https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/07/scourge-hygiene-theater/614599/

Uuuh!

saw this linked on the ol' birdsite, a duke study on the effectiveness of different types of masks: https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/08/us/duke-university-face-mask-test-trnd/index.html

the takeaway is that you should wear either an n95 respirator, a surgical mask or a cotton mask. folded bandanas are close to useless and those runner neck things are actually worse for the people around you than not wearing a mask at all

welp, here's hard evidence backing up the article we saw a few weeks ago about defficiencies in the tor network. nearly a quarter of users are getting attacked, and that's only the attacks we can detect right now. tor is currently unsafe, and it's unclear how project leadership plans to fix things since there are technical deficiencies in the design they're ignoring.

Today I made something kimchi-ish for the first time!

I started with this recipe: https://www.maangchi.com/recipe/chaesik-kimchi

Then, some substitutions where made due to availability (Not easy to find korean leeks on a sunday in Austria.) as well as "I have a bunch of red cabbages lying around, lets just use those." kinda decisions.

The result was a very spicy, tangy (I used Wakame, dried seaweed to get some of that shrimpy/fish sauce vibe.) and pretty salty dish but I was pleasantly surprised. For a firt experiment it produced a tasty side-dish for dinner. (Fried rice.)

Really curious how it's gonna taste after a day or two of fermentation. (Get a move on, bacteria!!!)

#SFFBookClub

let's buy books from queer and BIPOC authors, make fanart of them, fill our own wikis, give our own prizes. let's raid the canon like pirates and robbers, instead of begging for a recognition that should be taken. let's take a knife the posters of ‘foreigners go home’, and carve the sounds of our names. let's write our own books.

let's make our own languages.
